Simple App vs Programs — What Really Helps
No mandatory courses or complicated subscriptions—just tools that work in 30 seconds.
The Problem With Complex Programs
Many tinnitus programs combine therapy, subscriptions, and progress tracking. For some people dealing with chronic, distressing tinnitus, structured cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) programs are genuinely helpful and evidence-based.
However, these programs require:
- Weekly time commitments (30-60 minutes per session)
- 8-12 weeks to complete
- Regular homework and journaling
- Subscription fees ($20-50/month)
- Internet connection and account creation
For many users who simply need immediate sound relief for focus or sleep, this approach feels overwhelming and unnecessary.
